cdxar(1) — Commands
NAME
cdxar − Read the Extended Attribute Record from a CD-ROM
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/cdxar [−s number] [−b] file
OPTIONS
−s number
Specifies the File Section for which the XAR is to be read. The numbering starts with one and number can be any whole number. If this option is not used, the last file section of the named file is assumed.
−bCopies the entire XAR from a CD-ROM in binary format to standard output.
fileNames a file or directory within the CD-ROM file hierarchy of a mounted CD-ROM File System.
DESCRIPTION
The cdxar command accesses the Extended Attribute Record (XAR) associated with the File Section of a file or directory and lists its contents on standard output.
The output is formatted in a table that contains the name of each field of the XAR and the corresponding contents of the entry as recorded on the CD-ROM. Note that the Application Use Field and the Escape Sequences are not listed because they may contain non-printable characters.
If the command is used without the −b option, only the fixed part of the XAR is copied from the CD-ROM.
Users must have read permission for file in order to execute the command.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0The command was successful.
1The named file was not found, or was not within the CD-ROM hierarchy, or access permission was denied.
2The File Section indicated by −s does not exist.
3The File Section indicated by −s has no XAR.
4The File Section indicated by −s is not on the mounted CD-ROM.
